Tonkatsu




Ingredients
4 SERVINGS
TONKATSU Sauce

1 pound boneless pork loin with ¼-inch-thick fat cap

2 large eggs, beaten to blend

3 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

1 cup katikuro (potato starch/flour)

Kosher salt

vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1
Freeze pork loin until firm around edges, about 1 hour. Slice pork 1/4″ thick (or as thinly as you can). Alternative is to buy boneless thin sliced pork chop. Place slices between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound until as thin as possible without tearing meat.

Step 2
Place eggs, panko, and katikuro in separate shallow bowls. Working with 1 portion, season pork slices lightly on both sides with salt. Dredge in katikuro , shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, letting excess drip off, then coat in panko by gently pressing meat into panko and letting sit for a few minutes before Flip and repeat Set on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with remaining pieces of pork.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 2 pieces of the breaded pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side depending on thickness Transfer back to wire rack to drain and cool.
